Dear Papa,
So many good
conversations this weekend; I’m not sure I can capture them all or do them
justice at that. So here are some thoughts I need to further process and write
about…
I am so lucky
(in Jesus) to have the life I have- that I didn’t have to sort through some
horrific mess or abandonment or abuse or neglect in my life. Yet out of my
“luckiness” it would be foolish and a complete miss to not care for the orphan
or person who is confined or presently defined by those situations. How much
harder is it to believe Jesus in the midst of so much pain? Those sweet ones have
so much to sort through and there is total warring over their life. The battle
is not one that can be seen, but rather a major spiritual battle is being waged
over their life. As much as Jesus is fighting for them, Satan is as well. The
kids we meet are in such a place of brokenness and come from such terrible
backgrounds… for them to find God is a total miracle of Jesus. We have nothing
to offer the kids, literally nothing. Their turning point or choice to choose
Jesus for their lives can only be attributed to a complete miracle of Jesus.
Side note for
clarification…I have not had nor lived a “perfect” life, and I don’t see myself
as any better than the beautiful ones I speak of. I was simply reflecting this
week on present miracles of Jesus and Jesus in the midst of heartache. As I wrestle with the cruelties of life His sweet ones have endured and find myself angry at those who left them in such places, I lean into the Truth of who this King of kings is and remember that He is always victorious! Let's pray it in!
Let me be
Your light,
your little
girl
